Senapati, May 28 2015 :
A day after Southern Angami People's Organization (SAPO) approved the imposition of "economic blockade" against Mao community within the jurisdiction of SAPO, the United Naga Council (UNC) has appealed to both the parties to come together with mutual understanding and mutual respect in the spirit of brotherhood.
The UNC publicity Wing in a statement has expressed its concern over the issue and has called for resolving the matter through the traditional Naga customary court.
It has also slammed the Manipur Government for considering the issue as a State issue taking the name of territorial integrity.

Accusing the Government's policy of 'fishing in troubled water' by making it a State issue, the UNC has stated that the Dzuko issue is a 'family problem' within the Naga brothers and cannot be over exaggerated by external elements on the pretext of protecting the State territorial integrity.
Such involvement of the Government in collaboration with other elements is "uncalled for and unfortunate", the UNC stated.
The Nagas since ancient times have never depended on any other legal institutions but its customary judicial system which has also seen disputes and problems resolved with mutual respect for each other.
The UNC added that since time immemorial, the Nagas have been judicially dependent on the traditional customary court to settle any issue and it appealed to both the Mao Council and SAPO to uphold the customary court to settle any dispute.
Expressing concern over contention by the two communities, it has appealed to both the parties to restrain from taking any drastic steps.
Informing that efforts are being made to resolve the matter at the earliest, the UNC also met the Naga Hoho and necessary steps have been taken up to organise a meeting with Mao leaders.
